Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of Doctor John Donne, Sir Henry Wotton, Mr. Richard Hooker, Mr. George Herbert, and Doctor Robert Sanderson Shortly after his coming of age he started his career as a small draper in a tiny shop on the Exchange; and there, in his quiet way, he must have prospered, for a decade of years later he moved thence to Fleet Street, where he rented a shop within three paces of the south end of Chancery Lane. A little later in life he moved again to within a very few yards of his second home, whither in the year 1626 he brought his wife from Canter bury, one Rachel Floud, descended on the side of her mother from Archbishop Cranmer. This lady became the sad mother of seven children who all died in early childhood, she herself following her grief to the grave in the year 1640, after fourteen years of married life. Six years after his first wife's death Walton married Anne Ken, sister of that famous Bishop whose uprightness and piety have long been, as they deserve to be, part of the glory of the Church of England. He was one of the seven who resisted James the Second's notorious claim to the dispensing power, and whose handiwork is familiar in the Hymnody of his Church. Walton outlived, too, his second spouse, and spent the last twenty years of his life a widower, comforted by a son and a daughter, and busy with his literary labours.
